The Group Campsite (G1) at Riverside State Park has been reserved for the LCO. Those wishing to stay at the Park may reserve their spot on the entry form that will be available shortly. Updates to come.

Yeah but most of the Big Arms want to land on the green in one. The wind in the gully messes with most of those shots. I always played to the right of the hole and approached the green on the second shot. Going for the green on the drive almost always results in a 4 or more.

Big arm ams go for it. Pro's know to play for a three cause nobody 2's it unless you are a lefty or a sidearm player. Unless You never got the chance to practice it once and think you can.. That head wind is nasty!!

Thanks to all the golfers that came out and supported the Lilac City Open Fund Raiser. It was a great time even though it was a bit cool and a lot windy. I thought it was going to rain during the afternoon round but it was just too cold and we got about 5 minutes of little snow balls blowing by sideways.

There were three players that won entries into the LCO by being the best in their respective divisions on Sunday. Here are the results after playing one round on Cape Fear and one round on the Hawk;

The LCO will be holding a second Fund Raiser on April 7, 2013. We will play the Porcupine Course and the Cape Fear Course this time around.

The payout will be 1 paid entry into the LCO for each six paid entries per division at the Fund Raiser.

Ladies Ams Divisions only - One Paid Entry into the LCO for every three paid entries per division at the Fund Raiser.

Hot dogs will be provided for lunch, and we are asking each person playing to bring a Pot Luck item to round out the menu. $1 beers will be available.

In addition to the above skill based awards of paid entries to the LCO, the LCO & SDGA together will award one Pro and one Am a Paid Entry and 4 Mound Disc Golf Reserve will award one Paid Entry to the LCO by way of a ticket drawing.

You must have competed in one of the LCO Fund Raiser tournaments and you must be a current member of the SDGA to be eligible for the drawing of the Paid Entries.

Here's the skinny on the second LCO Fund Raiser to be held at 4 Mound on April 7, 2013 @ 8:30am.

Entries that are awarded at the LCO Fundraiser are not transferable. If you win an entry, you cannot give your Awarded entry to someone else.

For each 6 entries per division we will award 1 paid entry in that division. If 12 people play in one division, yes, two entries will be awarded.

We will be cooking Hot Dogs but are asking that if you play you bring a Pot Luck item to share at lunch
(beans, potato or pasta salad, fresh veggie tray, chili, chips of any kind, fruit, cottage cheese, etc.).

We will be playing Cape Fear in the morning and Porcupine in the afternoon.

$1 beers will be available at Lunch and afterwards.

There will be three Bonus Entries Awarded. The SDGA and the LCO together are offering One Pro Entry and One Am Entry that will awarded by drawing a name out of a hat. You must have played in one of the two fund raisers and you must be a current SDGA member. If you played in both fund raisers and are a current SDGA member you will get two tickets for the drawing. After the SDGA drawing the remaining tickets will be put in one bucket and 4 Mound Disc Golf Reserve will draw one ticket and Award one entry in whichever division you are playing in.

It looks like you got stable high speed drivers for the divisions with no arm speed. That just confuses their game. Road runners, TLs, and Leopard are great discs for players still developing their form. Those discs are great for everyone, but just kinda looks like it would be flipped.

I mean absolutely no offense with this Bob but I kind of have to agree with JP on this one. I thought the Advanced options were interesting and I didn't really pay attention to the Intermediate offerings until I read JP's post but I can't help but agree with him - that's just my 2 cents though.

Regardless though, I am planning on playing the LCO this year and am looking forward to another great event by Bob and the SDGA. I will sign up here as soon as I renew my PDGA membership. Thanks Bob for your willingness to put on another great event.

I'm signed up and looking forward to this event - considering coming out for the fund raiser too. Have to agree with JP and Scott on this - seems ironic limiting disc choices to understable stuff for the Advanced players and then offering all the big arm, fast, overstable discs to the rec/int players.

All of the Glo discs are Custom Fund Raisers (CFR's) and will be available for sale prior to the tournament, that's the way it worked out this year, it wasn't done that way on purpose. I really should start keeping track of who throws what so I can customize those player packs.
